PS3 for sure will be better compared to XM2 and CC5 in terms of dry and wet grip because I'm on PS3 at the moment and the size is 195/55/15 as well. nod.gif No comment on Yoko AE01 or CDrive2 cuz never use it before.

For you its either PS3 or CD2.

I am currently on CD2. Has much better grip and cornering compared to CC5.

Next change, I will try PS3

I am on the same size as you with a CC5 currently, going to change to PS3 in 3-4 months' time when the mileage is up. CC5 good dry grip but not as confident during wet season. Good luck choosing.

True, if want cheaper one can try GY Eagle F1-D5. But for 15', the price difference is not that much, so PS3 is still reasonable. If 17' or bigger then the difference becomes substantial.

Bro, that's a good price. Just check the date of manufacturer and beware of common tricks like camber nut, brake pads and suspension rosak already, etc.

I was using CC5 before. Did not notice any drop in FC after changing to CD2. My Waja average is still about
+/-12.5 km/l

both cc5 and cd2 is not LRR tyre. so i think its logical you didnt notice mucj changes in FC. their strength is more towards good comfort and nvh.

hmm... like that the AE01 not clash with their own CD2??
anyway, as mentioned by the other forumner, fuel efficiency rating of F is pretty low for CD2. I believe he mention about the new euro tyre label rating.. for me i think at least C or B is needed before i call it a LRR tyre..

it won't clash. CD 2 is more performance/comfort oriented. and it only exist in rather niche asia/asia pacific market (cheaper markets) where the tires are sourced from Philippines.

they don't have the american DOT ratings btw wink.gif

Used it the second day..
Seems that on the dry track it doesnt give me the confident as near threadless and hard silverstone m5. Maybe i havent used to it yet...

Havent go thru wet track yet..

But in term of silent and comfort.. Yes.. It is very good.. Im start hearing bearing problem sound after i changed the tyre, it shows the significant silent.

if you're comparing against silverstone m5 on dry, CD2 will > it anyday any time. be it on grip or traction.

my CD2 never wheelspin on stop-go launch until 20-30% tread left and i've touge/went to track with that tire before. so it isn't all that bad to be honest.

You cant compare PS3 and CC5, they are not even on a same league. With your current tyre size, comfort is not measured by the brand of the tyre, dry grip diffnt is unnoticeable by diff brand, search for the best wet grip and normally good wet grip tyres wont last as long as normal tyres. PS3 is my choice.
